"Success of the 2012 dividend distribution in shares"

The option for the payment of the dividend in shares was widely chosen by Atos SE’s shareholders: 67.3% of the rights were exercised in favor of a payment in shares. This high rate of dividend distribution in shares will result in an increase by EUR 34.3 million in the equity of Atos SE.

 

This transaction will result in the issuance of 702,606 new shares (representing an increase by approximately 0.82% of the share capital and of the voting rights), to be delivered and admitted for trading on NYSE Euronext Paris starting on June 26, 2013.

 

The shares issued in this manner will carry dividend rights as from January 1st, 2013 and shall be the subject of listing requests on NYSE Euronext Paris. The newly-issued shares will be of the same class and equivalent to the ordinary shares of the Company already listed on NYSE Euronext Paris (Compartment A – code ISIN FR0000051732).

 

Atos SE’s Combined General Meeting held on May 29th, 2013 determined that the amount of the dividend to be paid for the 2012 fiscal year would be EUR 0.60 per share and decided that shareholders could elect to receive the dividend either in cash or in shares. The issuance price of the newly-issued shares of the Company which will be issued in consideration for the dividend is set at EUR 48.95, and is equal to 90% of the average opening prices on NYSE Euronext Paris regulated market over the twenty trading days preceding May 29th, 2013, i.e. the date of the Combined General Meeting, reduced by the dividend amount and rounded up to the next highest euro cent.

 

The dividend resulting from the option for the payment in cash represents a total amount of EUR 17.2 million. It will also be paid starting on June 26, 2013
